JoeyJoeJoeJr. Shabadoo Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Yes my agnostic belief system. Have trouble dealing with criticism? I'd love to read something useful from you as a retort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Evil Twin Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Plenty of religious people don't go to church, yet associate with the common belief systems known as religion that also define a creator (and obviously believe one exists), but you don't preach? Try again. Scorpio Ego, humorously, didn't learn after being told, and neither will you. The bold is exactly why you are religious, but the opposite end of the belief system to those who do think there is any deity. You've made up your mind in absolute terms about the concept of a deity, you have no proof one doesn't exist, just as religious people have no proof a deity or deities exist, you're no different. Quit pretending like you are. If it was merely honesty you'd be honest and admit you have no clue. Commitment to such an important question when one hasn't a clue is faith and guesswork.

Mr. Ambien Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Woah woah, what didn't I learn? That disbelieving in god is religious? You told me? You still don't seem to have a grasp on the theist/atheist and gnosticism/agnosticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Evil Twin Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I was mocking your similar patting self on the back several pages ago even though you accomplished absolutely nothing, well, besides predictably returning to post in a topic you made a dramatic "I'm done" exit to.

Mr. Ambien Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Do you know why I accomplished nothing? Because my audience is too stupid to grasp what is being sad. Pearls before swine, as it were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Evil Twin Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Yeah I know, it's not your pointless expansion of a rather simple system of beliefs, nor your snooty look-down-one's-nose attitude even though completely unjustified, it's everybody else..

Mr. Ambien Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 As demonstrated in the post above, when it comes to you, I'm bang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Evil Twin Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I, cow, call myself a rabbit. It's simple! Bang that. Really since you're focused on patting yourself on the back you should probably be a tad more objectively introspective before doing so. Crawl before you can walk.

Mr. Ambien Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I suppose you can point to where I stated or even alluded to there definitively being no god? I've called out a few posters when they claimed things about me, and not once did anyone substantiate their claims. I don't expect this to turn out any different. When I'm a dick to anyone, I quote their posts and highlight why it is deserved. I did it to Heretic, Common Sense, and you in this thread. And all you can say is I'm misrepresenting myself when my posts (the only means for you to know anything about me, really) state the contrary. A cow calling itself a rabbit indeed. Baah.

VICanucksfan5551 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 What's wrong with expanding definitions for better description? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLumme Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 We're defining a simplistic system of beliefs. You wish to complicatedly expand it making it less simple. Lets try again, with less high horse: Agnostic -- no committed belief toward the existence of any deity/deities/creator/creators (can certainly reject man-made religions, can not reject them as well) Atheist -- committed belief against the existence of a deity/creator or plural Religious -- committed belief for the existence of one or more deities/creators Anything more simple than that? Or continue pointlessly being a pedantic douchewad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Ambien Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Gee-whiz! Do you have an aversion to the English language?

JLumme Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Redundancy, adding complicated ambiguity to already a rather simple definition. Agnostic Atheism --> Conclusion that a deity does not exist, even if admitting it's unknowable. Atheist. Agnostic theist--> Conclusion that deity does exist, even if admitting it's unknowable. Religious. Compare: Agnostic-> has no conclusion or committed belief about the existence of a deity because does not know. Two examples of fanciful personalized terms that pointlessly expand upon something very simple, especially when communicated to the general public. Wrong, people are not born an atheist. A born child does not even think about the concept of a deity, and the topic of them isn't even relevant until they can. You really should understand what atheism is. You have greatly broadened it to include a bunch of people erroneously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ambien Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 You are proving yourself to be incredibly ignorant. I've learned that there is no point in trying to educate people that won't listen, so I won't bother trying to correct you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
